Specifically, the price of lamb in supermarkets was at the same levels as in 2023, at just under 10 euros per kilo. The price of goat meat was slightly higher than in 2023, while the prices of products such as eggs and feta were somewhat lower.

The same sources said that the stalling of price hikes of basic Easter goods, combined with the good performance that has already been observed of measures for controlling prices in supermarkets, created a positive framework and expectations for a further decline in food inflation, which has already dropped.
